The weather is cooling down alot mainly because it has been grey and cloudy for the last week, with a bit of sunshine, which is rare as we have only had blue blue skies. here is Ike all bundled up for his walk with a little extra cap to keep his ears warm.
The next shots are of the master bedroom's bathroom, it is quite large, nate and Loren sometimes run the bubble bath in the Jacuzzi, mainly he showers with me in the shower room, loren just bought a new shower head, its not the sunflower but looks like a wiggly sun, ok I will get an image. Anyway the windows are always open and with the cooler weather, today we found a teeny tiny baby preying mantis (maybe the mom had built a nest in my asparagus plant?), thinking maybe only one had come in, nate spoke to it for a while, then we saw that there were more of them (one perched on the back of loren's electric toothbrush). Sometimes we get larger mantis in the house as well.
So the bathroom is so big that by the time one gets up at night to go to the toilet, one could be fully awake walking back to bed. Nate is there playing with his favourite toy, Lightning Mcqueen, the racecar from "cars". Today walking into Toys R us, thinking there is almost no chance of getting this toy, they have stocked up on it and its in the high quality metal with quality finishes!!! not the rinky dinky plastic ones from a lucky packet. I buy 8 of them or two packs. Nate is just obsessed with them and he only got one, wait till he sees the rest, if he is good. He has had etremely good behaviour with this car. Luckily the toy store stocked them too, Nate borrowed one from ethan and I have looked everywhere for it except bullet's stomach.
Speaking of cars, it has taken the car dealer a long time to settle my Renault Scenic, the car that will switch on the lights, wipers etc automatically... so I test drove a Volvo stationwagon. I never imageined driving a stationwagon but here it is, suburban soccer mom, with kids and dogs and a stationwagon. It is an automatic tho, has a pull up net to separate the dogs in the boot area and also the back seat converts into booster seat. At least no more one man band with that manual car.

Does it ever snow down there? What is the winter temperature?
Joburg actually sits quite high up, I can't remember what now but I don't think it snows, it gets to about 4 deg at night but warms up to 15 deg in winter. You get 95% sunny days here and have to layer as it just gets warmer in the day and with the sun, the car interior can still get toasty.
